Hi, Has anyone engaged White Space Living as an ID before? What are your comments over them? Thanks.

Hi, Here is the latest reply from the developer over this. "We would like to further clarify on the provision of the data outlets. The intent of the provision was to enable/facilitate residents to install their IT cables and infrastructure in future, without need for extensive laying of trunking or hacking works. The installation of any IT infrastructure and cables is dependent on the needs of the individual home owners and not every household would require them. In addition, compared to SCV, powerpoint and telephone points, data outlets are not required to be connected to third party service providers which necessitates pre-testing and commissiong to be done before TOP and building handover. In light of this, we have not provided any cables for the data outlets and this is in accordance with our intent and contract specifications." Does this make sense?

Hi, You just need to go to the DB cabinet, there should be a box labelled "Data", open the four screws there and check if you have string or cables there. Regards.

There are no cables inside, only string to pull the cables with. Thanks for the suggestion, however, I had already filed it as a defect, but was told by the developers that it is not a defect as it is not meant to be there in the first place. Which leads to the next question, do I have any way out in this? Or just be a guai guai flat buyer and keep quiet and pay for my own cabling?

In the Electrical Schedule in the S&P agreement, it was mentioned that I would be getting X nos of telephone outlets, Y nos of SCV outlet and Z nos of Data outlet. Since they provided the cables for the telephone and SCV outlets, isn't it natural to provide cables for the Data outlet? Any suggestions what I can do about this?

I have several systems that require wired networking and not wireless. Besides, if they planned for us to use wireless, then why provide the data points in the first place? So back to my original question, is it normal for condo developers to just provide faceplates without any cabling? In that case, does this mean that they also could have provided electricial sockets without electrical cables? ha ha

Hi all, I have just gotten my keys to my new flat at Riviera Residences. One very puzzling thing is that they have provided me with the data outlet plates, but yet there is no cables provided. They have provided cables for the telephones and SCV, but just not for the data network. I have written an email to the developers (NTUC Choice Homes), they have replied to me, "The data points provided in your unit does not include the data cables, you will have to get the relevant service provider which you are going to subscribe to draw in the cables for you." Is this a norm for condos? Thank you very much!
